Thanks for the info.The plan ( I hope I'm not wrong ) is to put a rifled barrel into the 781 I've got coming, as well as one into my dad's AIR-17 for him.

Now that I think about it I probably don't need the front sight though, based on pictures I think the rear is also welded on and I might just get a set of 853 sights to put on it. This may make an awesome target style setup for indoor plinking.

If you call your shots some days you kill it and some days you choke, some days you blast off and some days you just smoke.

no sights whatsoever on the replacement barrel, but Alchemy Airwerks sells rear sights that will snap on.

Oh I sorry, I was talking about the original barrel on the 781 I plan to put it on.It appears the rear sight is also welded on ( I see no screws and it's definitely not the snap on kind ).There's no point ordering the front sight if I won't have a rear sight, and if I've gotta buy both I might as well buy something much better.

I had an AIR for a very short time! Got it from a yard sale, wouldn't pump. Replaced the large o ring on the pump and it worked fine.Living close quarters in an apartment building and didn't want to upset the neighbors or the police. No mag with it. Traded it off.

Boy I like the looks of this oneI'd love to figure out a way toput the"carry handle assembly that slides on."and the pistol grip stock with of course a barrel with the front sight

On to a pump up receiver

Then I'd have a gun I'd really love

justsayn

The carry handle / mag assembly might slide on a 760 or 66, but that's about it since the stock mounts differently. ( I think it mounts like the 766/2100 )

Have you seen the Crosman outbacker ?It's another gun based around the 781 receiver / internals, I'm not sure I want one but they are kind of unique and Interesting.They have this very Interesting magnified faux scope sight thing, and even come with a water bottle in the stock.

The stock is just an AIR-17 stock with a logo moulded in.My theory is that they wanted to make use of the stock mould since they had dropped the AIR-17 for safety concerns based on " realism ".
